02086388168 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 02086388168 👆 is reported as a scam involving fake HMRC callers threatening arrest over alleged tax issues. Callers use automated or suspicious voices, sometimes claiming to be officers and warning of police visits. They often ask you to call back another number, which is a common tactic. The messages are generally pre-recorded, sometimes with an American accent, making them sound unprofessional and dubious. Genuine HMRC communications would be sent by post, not via aggressive phone calls or automated messages. Many users find these calls intrusive, stressful, and clearly fraudulent. The number is often linked to harassment attempts rather than legitimate official enquiries.

That voice sounded totally dodgy, like one of those scam calls. I’m pretty sure HMRC would stick to sending letters through the post these days - so annoying!

I just got a robocall saying HMRC are taking legal action against me and that I need to ring back on this number to stop it going further. It’s obvious HMRC wouldn’t use some dodgy automated message like that, and they’d definitely write to you properly on official letterhead if there was anything serious!

Got a call with an American accent but it was all pre-recorded. Sounds fishy like a scam?

I got a call from someone saying they were Officer Angela Crook at HMRC, accusing me of tax evasion and fraud. They told me I had to ring another number straight away. Total scam and just harassment.

I got a call from someone saying he was Edward Scott from HMRC, telling me there’s some case against me and that there’s a warrant out for my arrest. He even mentioned my address! Then he said that one of his mates at HMRC and a police officer would be knocking on my door in about 15 minutes to take me in! It was proper scary.
